Dolphins, dolphins and more dolphins

You can't tell from these pics--but the dolphins were SO close to our boat. It was soooo cool; I was driving the boat, doing my typical lead-foot thing (even on water, LOL), when we noticed a dolphin just ahead of us. I cut the motor--and then we looked around and realized we were SURROUNDED by them. It was truly breathtaking--a really, really awesome moment, the kind that will stay with you forever. Anyway, here are some shots from Easter Dolphin Day.

Anna: in theory, I could get in trouble if I were "caught" since you're not supposed to interact with wild dolphins. It's just as much for their protection (if not more) than yours--you don't want them to learn that people are "good" and therefore trust them because unfortunately, some of them aren't. That, my friend, is the only reason I DIDN'T jump in--I could have handled the getting in trouble part, I just didn't want to do something that could possibly endanger them in the future.
